Pros

-I'm never bored with my work. The projects I work on mix up enough to stay interesting, but are within my comfort zone enough that I rarely feel in over my head -The people on the teams I've worked with and the immediate managers I've worked for have always been great people. -Good benefits and pay.

Cons

-Confounding decisions that are detrimental to our ability to get our work done are regularly passed down from the higher ups with no transparency or two-way communication. -A lot of lip service is paid to making Mercury "a great place to work" but the higher ups only care about Mercury looking like a great place to work, not about it being a great place to work, and will sacrifice the latter in the name of the former. -We're often bounced around from project to project, which makes it harder to do good work on any one of them.

Pros

I find that at Mercury Systems we have really friendly co-workers. Engaged management from the CEO down to first line leaders. As a veteran who has spent most of my adult life in the military or working directly with them I find it great to be assisting building the best components we can to help my brothers and sisters in arm.

Cons

Sometimes the workload requires late nights and weekend work. However they did make that known when I was interviewing.
